If I dig around I have a Cool Papa Bell that is signed multiple times on the front. I have a few other auto'ed ones as well.

That was my (3rd duplicate) graded '78 set in REA. I too was surprised that the raw one sold for more. C'est la vie.

On a brighter note, I landed a grail from fellow Net54 member Matt (1956toppsguy). This incredible card is now a centerpiece in my collection and I couldn't imagine another signed Satch I'd rather have. It's a Pop 2 with none higher, enjoy!

Thank you, @JustinD!
